Please excuse my - probably - stupid question: For some reason i was away from my Salix machine a long time. Now, i'm trying to fix up some startup problems. But i forgot the exact startup sequence ...
Is there somewhere in the docs a link where it is explained "en detail". E.g. where for is looking lilo.conf first. And: What would be the command to NOT start X?
TIA a lot for your patience!

At the Lilo prompt, press the tab key and type Salix 3.

lilo.conf is not sourced during the start up sequence. It is only sourced when
lilo -v is executed. So the process to make changes to lilo is to edit the lilo.config file, then run
lilo -v. At the next boot, the changes you made should be in effect.

The way the system boots (how the init scripts are used) is described here:

But all that happens after LILO boots the kernel. So, what laprjns answered is of course correct.

Thanks a lot to you both! Lilo is relatively clear to me. Rather, what follows then is the problem.
Background of my problem: I'm running clamav as a daemon and i suspect, sometimes, it breaks the startup (probably when the schedule pretends a setup of the database (???)).

What do you mean by "breaks the startup"? What's happening exactly?
